How to Achieve Realistic Playback in Sibelius - First Steps

- In this short Sibelius tutorial, we look at the first stages of making playback in Sibelius sound more realistic. It will be helpful to relatively inexperienced users of Sibelius and those who aim to export projects as audio or MIDI for mixing in a DAW.

We learn how to create a more expre ssive, lifelike sounding performance by way of flexibility of rhythm and tempo (rubato) and by adding expression using variations in dynamic level. A future video will take this further with explanations of how to achieve greater expression using vibrato, phrasing and precise articulation.

The music example used in this tutorial is the flute solo from the opening of Prelude à L'aprés midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy, played back in Sibelius via NotePerformer 3. The opening music is from the same work, but featuring the full orchestra.

Thank you for your videos. Your explanations are clear and concise. So grateful that you put out these video.Hope I will be able to do more than just notation.
Thank you very much. I wish you well, let me know if you need any help.
Hi Robert, I want to congratulate you for the excellent content you are publishing.
I would like to tell you about my experience. I am also a musician and work with NP4. Over the years I have realized that Note Performer destroys much more expensive libraries such as Spitfire, EW or even Vienna in terms of the quality of their articulations.
My bet is that the future of computer orchestras lies in implementing realism directly from the score editor itself and not from the DAW, since programming conventional libraries consumes hours and hours for a very mediocre final result.
The downside is that NP4 is not so much based on samples, but on synthesis, and can lose in timbral richness. My idea to mitigate this disadvantage would be to create templates in the DAW that work in depth the EQ of NP4 harmonics to resemble their real counterparts and even trying to mimic miking and reverb techniques adapted to achieve a studio sound.
About this brief exercise you show us, it would be very interesting to first analyze a real reproduction of the solo by a pro flutist with some software that allows to mark the changes of the agogic, like Sonic Visualiser, and then try to imitate it with the score editor. I would also use the inspector instead of setting those unorthodox time signature changes, as it gives more individual control of each event.
Anyway, excellent channel and I look forward to watching more of your work.
It may look like a lot of effort, but in our DAWs, we do the same thing. Few can afford to hire an orchestra, so this is what we have to do.
Absolutely correct, and I do the same in the DAW from time to time. This is intended for those who are more at home with musical notation than with a 'piano roll' MIDI editor!
Very useful thanks. Another great realistic endeavor would be if Sibelius 'falls' actually fell!. Is it me or should I use a different playback software than Sibelius? I don't think it's really cut out for anything other than notation. Cheers.
Does Sibelius support Kontakt and Mixing and Plugins?
It definitely supports Kontakt and some other plugins. However, to get the full benefit of such plugins, I would prefer to export the tracks from Sibelius and do the mixing and application of fx in a DAW. This might help - th-cam.com/video/Xu51k-iHyfU/w-d-xo.html
@Robert Lennon, Musician & Educator there is the answer: you achieve realistic playback somewhere else, because Sibelius ist not enough. And even in daw ist hard.
I'd agree to a certain extent. The DAW is best for getting overall realism in terms of instrumental sound, balance, reverberation, depth and so on, but the fine gradations of tempo and dynamic that I show in the video, that mimic a real player, can be done effectively in Sibelius - especially by a musician who feels more at home using music notation.
learn a little bit to watching this video🤗
Instead of crazy time signatures cant we just at Fermata. e.g. quaver = 30 for last note
Yes, of course. I just wanted to present an alternative. In fact this method is more useful for phrasing which I'll deal with in a future video. Do bear in mind that no one gets to see the crazy time signatures! Thanks for the question.
@@robertlennonmused Realise that lol. You certainly need to split visual score with performance score. Just keep differences fairly orderly
